What is a maintenance medication?

Maintenance medications are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.

When does the convenience fee apply?

For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $15, then you will pay $30 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $180 over the year by filling a 90-day supply.

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician.

1 Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the TRS-ActiveCare Select or TRS-ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable.

2 For TRS-ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,750 – individual, $5,500 – family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. Find the list of drugs at info.caremark.com/trsactivecare.

3 If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug.

4 If the cost of the drug is less than the minimum, you will pay the cost of the drug.

5 Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

Annual Benefit Enrollment

SUMMARY PAGES

Annual Enrollment

Q&A

During your annual enrollment period, you have the opportunity to review, change or continue benefit elections each year. Changes are not permitted during the plan year (outside of annual enrollment) unless a Section 125 qualifying event occurs.

Who do I contact with Questions?

For supplemental benefit questions, you can contact your Benefits/HR department or you can call Financial Benefit Services at 866-914-5202 for assistance.

•

Changes, additions or drops may be made only during the annual enrollment period without a qualifying event.

• Employees must review their personal information and verify that dependents they wish to provide coverage for are included in the dependent profile. Additionally, you must notify your employer of any discrepancy in personal and/or benefit information.

•

Employees must confirm on each benefit screen (medical, dental, vision, etc.) that each dependent to be covered is selected in order to be included in the coverage for that particular benefit.

New Hire Enrollment All new hire enrollment elections must be completed in the online enrollment system within the first 31 days of benefit eligibility employment. Failure to complete elections during this timeframe will result in the forfeiture of coverage.

Where can I find forms?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the MRIC benefit website: www.txescbenefits.com. Click on your service center, then click the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find the forms you need under the Benefits and Forms section.

How can I find a Network Provider?

For benefit summaries and claim forms, go to the MRIC benefit website: www.txescbenefits.com. Click on your service center, then click on the benefit plan you need information on (i.e., Dental) and you can find provider search links under the Quick Links section.

When will I receive ID cards?

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, you can expect to receive those 3-4 weeks after your effective date. For most dental and vision plans, you can login to the carrier website and print a temporary ID card or simply give your provider the insurance company’s phone number and they can call and verify your coverage if you do not have an ID card at that time. If you do not receive your ID card, you can call the carrier’s customer service number to request another card.

If the insurance carrier provides ID cards, but there are no changes to the plan, you typically will not receive a new ID card each year.
